Hi Hun! I know instinct kicks in and you automatically worry but pains are normal I have had pains since I found out and like yourself I worried like crazy but was told that it is normal to have pains they are signs of growing and stretching but in you need some reassurance then give your doctor a call in the morning and have a chat with them but for now do not think the worst as that will cause you unnecessary stress x

Thanks alot dearie. Its not easy to be pregnant but its a beautiful experience though.

I’m 8 + 2 I had quite a bit of cramping yesterday which really worried me every time I went to the toilet I thought I’d see blood but it’s gone now and no bleeding. As previous poster has said everything is stretching and growing in there 😊
